I have been tying my hoppers with a dropper loop for years. Like the way they float.
I agree, thanks for the vid. He is attaching the eye of the hopper like a Thingamabobber, or yarn indicators, but by going through he dropper loop, like he says, the hopper floats straight out.
I am going to try it with out the dropper loop as well, because I think it will still be fine just off the eye.
I always attach the dropper off the eye, instead of the bend. Ths just taught me can move the fly up and down with out cutting the line.
Now, if I could find one that allows the line to run freely through the hopper, so I could do the Hopper with a 20' dropper....that is what I am working on.
Thanks for the youtube.
